    Article from me in today's Inquirer which takes a look at the data on sexual & violent offending & its lack of fit with the feminist narrative of a "rape culture". I also argue that assigning collective guilt for crimes is regressive & unjust

    "Tyranny is the deliberate removal of nuance". Had no idea the state universities were in until I started my degree a year and half ago. I have never considered myself a conservative growing up, but I would be considered one relative to my student body. Its shameful.

    That's an extremely dated article when it comes to molecular genetics. Given rapid developments in recent yrs, 2011 is almost like prehistory. The article doesn't question heritability as an indicator of genetic influence in humans, it's mostly abt complications in its estimation

  5. In short, the idea that people can't be born bad is just blank-slate nonsense. Like all traits, psychopathy is heritable.

  6. It's hypothesised that those w/ CU traits/psychopathy have deficient fear conditioning (i.e. they're fearless). A fMRI study found that adult psychopaths had NO ACTIVITY in the limbic-prefrontal circuit when exposed to stimuli designed to induce fear

  7. In a study of callous-unemotional traits (childhood version of psychopathy) using 3687 twin pairs, it was found that children who exhibit HIGH levels of CU traits were under "extremely strong genetic influence & no influence of shared environment"

  8. A meta-analysis of 51 twin and adoption studies found that additive genetic influences accounted for 32% of the variance in anti-social behaviour, nonadditive genetic influences accounted for 09%, shared environmental influences 16%

  10. Swedish study of sex offenders (N=21,566) over a 37 year period found that sex offending was highly clustered in families, genetic factors being much more likely to predict offending (40%) than shared environmental influences (2%)

    This rabbi says yes, provided it's done with respect to address the substance in a matter befitting an institution of higher learning, as opposed to mockery or to incite a mob against the writer. It's not a function of amplifying a public message but being a professional educator

  12. If a student writes an article for a public audience is it kosher for professors to send it out in a mass email to other students for scrutiny?

    I submitted a hoax manuscript to a predatory journal. The finding? Politicians from the right wipe their ass with their left hand (and vice versa) - big breakthrough! Manuscript accepted w/o review. I then haggled the OA fee down to $0 - so here it is ->

    Here's my plan for increasing the number of women in STEM: every female diversity flack currently peddling outrage over this should quit her job and SET AN EXAMPLE by pursuing a career in STEM. Be the change you want to see in the world. Think of the example you can set!

    Chilling piece about modern campus culture. Yes, I'm sure it's Not All Colleges and not all campus culture. (shoutout to !) But this definitely exists, and it's pretty bad.

    If a scientist has an idea or thinks something needs testing, they usually can't. They have to write a long grant, get permission to submit it, hope it fits a small set of interest areas, send it to their strongest competitors to read, wait up to a year. 90% are rejected.

    Tom Wolfe wrote that the experience of graduate school seemed to defy literary exploration. Wolfe said it would be a study of frustration, but a form of frustration so exquisite, so ineffable, nobody could describe it. Here is my attempt.
